Section 7 Battle on the Bridge

"Hey Irie zuck!! Don't go alone!!

"That's right! Are you supposed to be escorted?

The voices of Toslin and Master Yuhanna fly from far behind. But I don't stop the unicorn legs.

"Caroloo!!

"Rizzelaich!!

Then, at about the same time, they shouted.

View along the streets flowing like wind. There is almost no more snow left here, about a week away from Sorletta.

On the right hand side of the street is a green meadow, and on the left is a stream of fresh stream Anne Libretta, which serves as a water source at the foot of Nogrint St.

Drop me off with the faces of all the Knights of the White Lilies, who run them out of sight, looking straight at the front only.

"Do I have to run along the street like this?

But there was Carol's voice just over the lead carriage.

"Carol!?

"Yeah, it's Mr. Carol. No, Iris. Move on your own."

"Oh, I'm sorry, so! Mr. Peach Seeds is under attack!!

"Peach? Ah, did you know Iris? Well, then there's no choice."

Carol said that in a tone that seemed to go hand in hand with the unicorn but still had some leeway.

No footsteps, and if you look, you don't even have a footprint. As usual, Carol surprises me, but I was a little horrified that I didn't have to be mad at her. It's certainly not a good idea to move alone, is it? Because we're a party.

"You look adorable and have a surprisingly hot personality. But it's not your fault."

From the other side of Carol, now there was the voice of Ritzereich.

"Ahhh!? Holy shit! Rizzelaich!? Yikes... what's going on with that!?

She was wrapped around the exorcism shell shown in the Sorletta Ritta grove. But unlike that time when it was just my arm, this time I wear it only on my leg.

"If you wear this magical outer shell, which is the masterpiece of the eagle, there is no such thing as ignoring the evil path and moving on."

Sure, you're right, I don't know what the principle is, but Ritzereich's feet float slightly off the ground and he's moving on to slip.

"Nice, what about the wizard? It's like being a wizard."

"I think the Lord will keep us apart for good. And it's only a short time before I can fly. That's why Iris. Get me in the back."

When Ritzereich made the jump, he crossed the unicorn while releasing the exorcism shell.

"Ah, hey... I know you're telling me to stay away from the Iries!

"It's an emergency. We don't have a choice."

"Shit...... well. I'll forgive you just this once. But if you do something weird, don't do it!

"I don't have any credibility. I do have an interest in the Iries, but I also have something called reason in the eagle. As much as this isn't the time, I know. Nevertheless...... ho, fast and fast. Is this the unicorn? Probably faster than the best junior horses in our Knights."

"Keep your mouth shut, or I might bite your tongue!?

The beginning of the carriage line is already far rear. You don't have to worry about someone crossing the front anymore. After so advising Ritzereich, who raised a pleasant voice behind him, I increased the speed of the unicorn even further.

When we got to the scene, the noise of the bustle, the sword trident, and the screams were flying, of course.

"Oh, this could have sucked... if I'd just relaxed"

"Hmm, a cabal leefish on water slime? Neither of them are massive."

The place stretches the streets so as to intersect Anne Libretta, a bridged point.

Dozens of fish wrapped around silver scales fly over a bridge large enough to make a difference if the carriage can afford it. Stiff crust, pointy mouth like a sharp spear's tip. That's dozens of them jumping off the river in a group, attacking a merchant carriage that is a prey. That's exactly how the cavalry stormed. Therefore, the name given is Cavally Fish.

But that's not all the monsters are. There are several colorless, clear, jelly-shaped creatures stuck in the trunk of the bridge. He tries to crawl over injured horses and loads, whilst turning his body disgustingly with a gnaw.

It's a slime that lives in the river and is a major monster around here, feeding on fish and the like that approached without noticing a transparent body.

Hibernate in the nearby meadows as rivers freeze in the winter. So in the meantime, it's normal for people from neighboring towns and villages to be exterminated in the aggregate, but I guess this year the streets were blocked due to heavy snow and dragons, which left them whole without extermination.

"What about Mr. Peach Seeds?!?

And these water slimes, they're pretty big. The slime I've ever seen was only about the size of a bucket of water, but most of the slime here is about three times that size. Besides, one of them is even more than that, huge enough to drink a horse and have extra.

"Hey, what can I do?

That's what Carol asked me when I tried to break into the fight as it was in front of that sight.

"What do you want me to do?

Again, that's what I've heard this time by changing my words. Well, there's both Carol and Ritzereich here. It's just too inefficient to stick around. There's nothing to work with. But I don't have enough places in battle. I don't see what's best to do in this place right now.

"... sorry. I don't know. What do you think I should do?"

In a situation that made me want to rush right away, I heard the opposite. Carol gave me an instant answer to that answer.

"I can't take down the slime, but it'll take a while. But the fish have a lot of them, but maybe we can figure it out."

"So if you're slime, let me take care of you."

Ritzereich was getting off the unicorn at some point. And now he let his arms wrap his exorcism shell around him, not on his feet.

"Then I'll protect the injured and the carriage!

"Okay, come on."

"Iris, look at this, okay? The results of my magic research, the power of my magical outer shell!

Carol and Ritzereich run to the center of the bridge at full speed. Carol, an orange ranked sheaf, ran dozens of meters in an instant, bouncing off all the cabal leefish that just now tried to skewer the horse with a dagger and a leg.

Although speed is what gives way to Carol, Ritzereich physically erases the water slime that was about to swallow the horse with the devastating blow that its rigid arms roll out.

"Okay, I..."

Now it's time to increase the unicorn's speed and head to the center of the bridge.

"Are you okay, Mr. Peach Seeds?!?

"Ah, Iris!? Why are you here?

Mr. Peach Seeds stands up as a shield, covering himself with a merchant with a leg injury behind his back and a man with a sense of style. At its foot there was a whole cabal leafish that Carol slapped down, and he was jumping bitchy.

"Don't look around, Peach Shh!!

It was Mr. Kutuna who stabbed the cavalry fish with his sword.

"I'm here to help! Mr. Plumshees, yes!?

"Hand over the burning memories, Spirit, burn down the shadow of him!!"

"Over there."

From the direction indicated by Mr. Peach Seeds at the tip of his sword, a chant of the spell was heard.

Then shortly afterwards, he swallowed the water slime that was about to crawl up the bridge trunk. Golly flame-wrapped water slime, the film instantly discolors white. I don't know about this analogy right now, but it smells like when I bake squid.

"Good. All three are safe. The Knights are coming close now. Let's hold out until their rescue arrives."

At that time, there was a bashing loud noise from the upstream side of the river.

"Ugh, it's not cowardly to come from the other side too!?

"Invasive Shield!!

The hyena of unicorns instantly turns from purple to white, full of magic and glowing.

As the white magnetic ring fitted to the pinky finger blinked, it turned into a magic book, and a huge magic formation was plugged between us and the Cavalry Fish.

Geeeeeeee!

A hard sound sounds, and all the spears, the only weapon of the cabal leafish, break and fall on the bridge.

"Huh, thank God. Thanks, Iris."

"Ugh. Looks like we're getting fewer and fewer thanks to Carol. Please keep the extermination going."

"Fine. With the princess's favor, I'll do whatever it takes."

"Hey Iris! See what I can do!?

"Oh, yeah. Of course. Thank you, too, Ritzereich."

Ritzereich is somehow too flashy to like, but it feels noticeable. Instead of physically attacking it not working much, attacking it should melt the weapon with the acidic body fluids in the film, but it's crushing all the slime under one blow without even taking it as a thing. He throws, bursts, and makes people argue with each other with a crowd of cavalry fish that sometimes storm him.

"Ho! The words of the poor maiden are the source of the knight's power."

"I don't recognize you as a knight."

"Coo, Peach Shh!? There's a girl who's going to knock the fish out of the butterfly, but she said... and Mr. Iris!?

"Long time no see, Mr. Plumshees. But let's do this later."

I breathe heavily and vomit. Beginning with goblins, he has gone through fewer but darker battles with golems, dragons, entrees, shadow spirits, and carbuncles. But I'm still not used to this sore throat kind of air.

No, I guess I don't have to get used to it. Unthread the tension and I'll die lightly. It was painful in the battle with the Shadow Spirit.

"Right. Right now, priority should be given to getting through this."

"Laplice, watch your back. Mr. Kutuna, has anyone else been injured besides that merchant?

"Yes, no, the others let him go, so he's the only one left"

Copy that, sir.

I put my right hand up against the sky.

In the cloudless blue sky was Phoenix, a red bird now waiting for procrastination and orders.
